Abstract
A seal and discharge assembly for use in the processing of farinaceous material is disclosed in which the dry food mix is introduced into a continuous pressure cooker assembly without undue pressure loss and while maintaining a regulated flow of material into the continuous pressure cooker assembly. The seal and discharge assembly comprises an extension of the root of the pressure feeder screw upon which is mounted a compacting ring for plug sealing and flinger paddles for breaking-up the plug seal and positively conveying the farinaceous material making up the plug seal into the continuous pressure cooker assembly. The root extension and the radially mounted flinger paddles are housed in a discharge chamber between a pressure feeder screw barrel and the continuous pressure cooker assembly.
